RE-SPECS Frames for the Needy founder and CEO Chana Simon was interviewed by Michael Prosmushkin, correspondent for Yedioth Ahronoth’s local Sharon publication. The article, which appeared in the newspaper of October 26, 2012, detailed the organization from its earliest beginnings, emphasizing its aims and vision and what it needs in order to grow. To quote Chana, “Every visually impaired person, irrespective of their economic situation, should be able to acquire corrective eyewear.” She went on to explain that, “Giving, helping others is of enormous importance. This is what motivates me and the organization.”

RE-SPECS emphasizes the importance of making full use of recyclable products like glasses, and so helping to preserve the planet.

The news article created a lot of interest. Many readers, including several local optometrists, learnt of the existence of RE-SPECS for the very first time and were quick to come forward with offers of help.
